Reunion 2009

The purpose of this post is to help us organise our next Reunion Celebration in 2009. It will be 33 years since we were all in Form 5 in 1976. Furthermore all of us will be hitting (or have hit) the Big 5 in terms of age. We might even use the tagline "Life Begins at Fifty" (only a suggestion, lah! Other inputs are of course welcome.)

We need to first agree on two key things - WHERE and WHEN.

WHERE
There have been a few locations suggested:

(A) Mr Sinos proposes the exotic location of Siem Reap, Cambodia. Imagine dining and dancing with the famous and historic Angkor Wat in the background. As Sinos is based there, he is familiar with the place and can help advise us on travel and accomodation. A few others have already expressed interest in this option.

(B) Kuala Lumpur is another suggestion, as a number of old boys are based there, and KL does have a lot of shopping malls, eateries and drinking spots to amuse us.

(C) Of course, the default venue is our home town Kuching, which is convenient for many who are still living there. For those flying in, we can take the opportunity to visit relatives, and perhaps also make a visit to our old alma mater.

We are still open for other venues, so do give your suggestions.

WHEN
Instead of pinning down the exact date now, which might be difficult, I suggest we first decide on the month. Since it is already March, I don't think it's practical to expect that the reunion can happen until the second half of the year, perhaps no earlier than August. What do you guys think?

So I suggest to you after reading this to give us at least two things in your comments - which venue you prefer (either A, B, C or somewhere else that you suggest), and which month would be better for you? And for this feedback, try not to be anonymous, ok?

Any other feedback or ideas relating to this reunion are most welcome. Over to you ...
